      I am wondering if anyone can confirm these three accounts of the post-kidnapping and human trafficking in western Afrika:

      “In Ghana a common greeting/response when someone knocks on your door is “are you a human being?”
      Because people remember their people who were kidnapped and think of slavers as monsters
      In Benin, people will not sit near the door when they visit others because people remember those who have been kidnapped or set up to be kidnapped being offered a seat near the entrance to be easily snatched
      In Nigeria there are still stories of people who went to get water one day and never came home, offerings are still made for their elevation and their names are still spoken many generations later
      Give Africa the benefit of the doubt, always”

      I would like to verify this information, if possible, before sharing it..
      Asante Sana!! Daalu!!

        Thanks, Bro! Could be the same for me. Each of them seems quite reasonable and likely, but I am seeking confirmation.
